The European Aquaculture Society (EAS) in partnership with AZTI-Tecnalia, a Spanish technological centre specialised in marine and food research, will present Aquaculture Europe 2014 this October.

What will Aquaculture Europe include?

With a strong scientific programme that includes more than 20 parallel sessions, Aquaculture Europe will allow delegates to present initiatives that add value to aquaculture, covering the basic and applied science behind all aspects of aquaculture, technical aspects of production, harvest, processing and commercialisation of aquaculture products.
 

The event will feature an international trade exhibition where Spanish and international companies will present the latest products and services for aquaculture. 

As with all Aquaculture Europe events, there will be an EU Forum addressing research funded by the European Community and chaired by members of the European Commission.

An EAS Student Group workshop and Industry Forum will also offer networking opportunities and the chance to exchange of ideas related to aquaculture.
